E                       F#
The gentleman's in the lane
Em                         C
Spinning his hat on a cane
          A                C
Stepping out, out for a change
              D                    F     C
Good morning all, it's a beautiful day

E                             F#
The generals are winning the war
Em                    C           A            
Seemed suicidal before you came along
        C
Now, now
             D                   F     C  Gsus4/C#
I'll protect you, long as you'll stay

E F#
L A
C                           A               D    G
Morning had to come, I'd be walking in the sun
               A
Living in the day
         C                                   E
But last night I was about to throw it all away

E                      F#
If patience started a band
    Em               C
I'd be her biggest fan
         A                  C
Look at me, I'm talking to you
             D                F      C
I don't want the lead in your play
E                              F#
The star's just a part of the scene
    Em               C
The gentleman in green
        A                 C
Paying off, out on the street
           D                    F    C   Gsus4/C#
I can't go home, it's not on my way
E F#
L A
C                       A                  D     G
Things I've never done, cars parked in the sun
               A
Living in the day
         C                                  E
But last night I was about to throw it all away
     C                                  E
Last night I was about to throw it all away
     C                                  E
Last night I was about to throw it all away
     C                                  E
Last night I was about to throw it all away
